    Greetings!

    I'am putting the plastic backglass trim on a Silverball Mania CPR backglass. Should I cut it to 45 degrees so it fits at the corners? Or does it just slide on the glass? ( as is ) Also, the chrome channel that fits on the bottom of the glass. Should I put some tape or some type of material in the slot the glass sits on? The old chrome channel had rust in it where the glass sits.............. I just can't beleive that there is nothing protecting the glass from scratches. peeling ect.....Thanks for any suggestions or advice!

    Just get a new channel:

    The glass is protected from the metal by friction/hockey tape.

    Thanks for the info Vid! I did get a new channel from Marco. Should I put the friction tape on the inside of the channel or put it on the glass itself? Should I tape the three plastic u channel's to the glass?............ Also, do I cut the plastic u channel peices at a 45 degree so it will fit on the corners better or just leave it as is?.......Sorry for all the questions......... LOL

    Plastic channel does not need tape.

    Metal channel gets tape, so non sticky side goes to the glass.

    Up to you on mitering the corners.
